Slowed things down with Goose today. Little history on this guy.
This past Easter my sister rescued him from a terrible situation. He was malnourished, abused and lame with thrush. She nursed him back to health. Got him sound. Gave him the works with chiropractor, dentist and shots. Spent time earning his trust and broke him out.
Tomorrow will be a week since he’s been with me and from day one I could just see it in his eyes that someone broke his soul 😢 My sister did a fabulous job in earning his trust and to have him want to be petted and loved, he really is the sweetest boy ever. Even though I can ride Goose, I need to earn his trust and respect from the ground first. He needs patience and a soft hand and that’s what I plan to give him. He is very willing once he isn’t scared and he’s very smart. He hasn’t spooked at one thing and I’ve kinda already rode him in several atmospheres.
Once I earn his trust I do believe this boy will take me anywhere. Sometimes taking a few steps is the best thing you can do.
